Our business planning, and our corporate governance is built around our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These goals form our core values and are at the heart of our Sustainability Policy.
For the period to the end of the Financial Year 2021/22 we have made a number of sustainability commitments which we aim to share with transparency and openness.
